NZ vs SA Dream11 Prediction, Dream11 Playing XI, Today Match 24, ICC T20 World Cup 2026

Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for Match 24 of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 between NZ vs SA to be played in Ahmedabad.

Two top-ranked T20I sides are ready to take on each other in the next encounter of T20 World Cup 2026. The 2021 runner-ups, New Zealand, will lock horns with the 2024 finalist, South Africa, this weekend. This contest will be held at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.

New Zealand have started the tournament with consecutive wins. They have thrashed Afghanistan and the UAE by big margins. In the previous game, an unbeaten opening stand of 175 between Tim Seifert and Finn Allen sealed the deal for them.

South Africa would consider themselves lucky as they edged past Afghanistan in a dramatic double Super Over game in Ahmedabad. But a win is a win, and they are one win away from making it to the Super 8. Both teams are in good form, and it will be a cracking contest at the world’s biggest cricket stadium.

NZ vs SA: Pitch Report

Narendra Modi Stadium has been a good batting venue. The dimensions are big, but the pitch is very flat. The consistent bounce makes it ideal to play big shots. In two games played here this edition, the first-inning scores are 213 and 187.

That shows how difficult it is to bowl here. However, bowlers with the ability to change their pace have done well at this venue.

NZ vs SA: Dream11 Prediction – Who Will Win?

South Africa were very close to losing their last game against Afghanistan. They have an in-form batting unit, but their bowling has been an issue in the death overs. That is why we back New Zealand, who have an all-round combination and good spinners for these conditions.
